Our Wedding Dress Preservation Process
No two gowns get the same treatment, because no two gowns are the same. Here is how your dress moves through our hands, and what you will know at every step.
1. Assessment
We examine the gown together: fabric, construction, beadwork, hems, and every mark the day left behind. You get a firm quote and a timeline before anything else happens.
2. Stain Treatment
Each stain is identified and treated for what it is. Perspiration, makeup, wine, and grass all respond differently, and treating them correctly the first time is most of the work.
3. Gentle Cleaning
Your gown is cleaned with eco-friendly solvents matched to its fabric. Delicate materials and hand-sewn embellishments are handled the careful way, not the fast way.
4. Finishing
Careful pressing and detailing bring the gown back to the shape it held on the day itself.
5. Preservation
The gown is preserved using museum-quality techniques for long-term storage, so it is protected for the years ahead.
How Long It Takes
Every gown is different, so we give you a clear timeline when we see the dress. Working against a date? We welcome rush requests and we will tell you honestly what is possible.
